1.0 Purpose
This method statement will give a brief step to be carried out for testing and commissioning
of OCEF relays.
2.0 Scope
This procedure describes the method to be adopted for:
 Testing of over current earth fault relays
3.0 Reference
 Approved schematic drawing
 Project HSE Plan
 Project Quality Plan
 Tender Specification
4.0 Man power
a) Project Engineer (permit holder) - 01
b) Testing Engineer (DCRP) - 01
c) HSE Officer - 01
d) Technician - 01
5.0 Procedure
 Ensure that all reference documents are available at site.
 Ensure that valid permits are obtained from concerned authorities wherever
applicable.
 Ensure only trained persons shall operate the power tools.
 Ensure all concerned personals shall use PPE and all other items are required.
 Ensure adequate lighting is provided in the working area at night time.
 Ensure service area/work area openings are provided with barricade, tape and safety
nets.
6.0 Over current & E/F protection:
 The approved settings are uploaded in the relay.
 The output relays and opto inputs are configured as per scheme diagram.
 The logic and LEDs are configured as per scheme requirement.
Measurements:
 The voltage & current connections are made from the kit to test plug of the relay.
 The kit is switched ON.

 Quick CMC module is opened.

The 3ɸ voltages and current are injected as given below:

 VR - 63.5V ∟0⁰ IR - 1A ∟0⁰
 VY - 63.5V ∟-120⁰ IY - 1A ∟-120⁰
 VB - 63.5V ∟+120⁰ IB - 1A ∟+120⁰
 The voltage and current readings are taken from the measurements menu and
compared with CT & VT ratio adopted.
Over current pick up:
 The E/F fault function is disabled in the relay OMICRON kit is switched ON.
 Quick CMC module is opened.
 Slowly rise Rɸ current till the relay O/C function pickup.
 Note the reading.
 Similarly Yɸ & Bɸ pickup values are noted.
 Inject 2 times current and note the relay trip time.
 Inject 5 times current and note the relay trip time.
Earth fault Pick up:
 Enable Earth fault function in the relay.
 Switch ON OMICRON kit.
 Open quick CMC module.
 Rise Rɸ current till E/F picks up.
 Note the readings.
 Inject 2 times current.
 Note the relay trip time.
 Inject 5 times current.
 Note the relay trip time.
